(3) a 0.36-mile, 35-foot-wide, concretelined tailrace tunnel; (4) five 0.03-mile,
19-foot-wide steel penstocks; (5) a 1.71mile, 29-foot-wide concrete-lined
horizontal tunnel; and (6) a 0.15-mile,
29-foot-wide concrete-lined vertical
shaft.
The Lake Range Reservoir alternative
consists of: (1) a new upper reservoir
with a surface area of 160 acres and a
storage volume of 26,020 acre-feet at a
maximum water-surface elevation of
6,180 MSL; (2) a 0.3-mile, 31-foot-wide
concrete-lined headrace tunnel; (3) a
0.43-mile, 34-foot-wide concrete-lined
tailrace tunnel; (4) five 0.04-mile, 18foot-wide steel penstocks; (5) a 2.04mile, 29-foot-wide concrete-lined
horizontal tunnel; and (6) a 0.15-mile,
29-foot-wide concrete-lined vertical
shaft.
Powerhouse location would depend
on the selected upper reservoir
alternative. The powerhouse would be
between 200 to 300 feet below ground
level and constructed with steel and
concrete. The structure would be
approximately 500-feet-long, 125-feetwide, and 150-feet-high, containing five
pump-turbine motor sets rated at 400
megawatts (MW) each. Adjacent to the
powerhouse, the transformers chamber
would be constructed and reinforced
with shotcrete. The chamber would be
approximately 165-feet-long, 60-feetwide, and 50-feet-high.
The Pyramid Lake Pumped Storage
Power Plant would interconnect to the
Sylmar transmission line using a new
500 kilovolt (kV) transmission corridor
about 16.5 miles long but length would
vary depending on the selected upper
reservoir alternative. The
interconnection between the Pyramid
Lake Pumped Storage Project to the
Pacific DC Intertie will require a new
converter station. From there, the power
would be transmitted to a Rebuilt
Sylmar Converter Station West. Annual
energy production is projected to be
approximately 6,900,000 megawatthours.
Additionally, the project will be
interconnected with proposed
photovoltaic solar farms, through a new
500 kV transmission line to the new
powerhouse. Two alternatives for the
solar farms are proposed. The first
alternative is a 14,000-acre, 2,000–MW
solar farm on the north slope of Pyramid
Lake. The second alternative includes
two separate solar farms; a 10,000-acre,
1,428–MW facility on the north slope of
Pyramid Lake and a 4,000-acre, 572–
MW facility on the southeast tip of the
lake.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company;
Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the
application for a new license to
continue to operate and maintain the
Phoenix Hydroelectric Project. The
project is located on the South Fork
Stanislaus River in Tuolumne County,
California. Commission staff has
prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA) for the project. The project would
occupy 26.99 acres of Federal land
administered by the U.S. Forest Service
and 0.59 acre of Federal land
administered by the Bureau of Land
Management.
The EA contains the staff’s analysis of
the potential environmental impacts of
the project and concludes that licensing
the project, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major Federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
The Commission provides all
interested persons with an opportunity
to view and/or print the EA via the
internet through the Commission’s
Home Page (https://www.ferc.gov/), using
the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket
number, excluding the last three digits
